“Mason’s Daughter creates a magical experience in which its reader is hooked from the start. The spell-binding story does not let the reader stop until the end is reached. I devoured the book and then shared it with my book club…” Nat N. – Amazon Reviewer

Sally Mason’s teenage son Colton is headed for a major meltdown, and she’s desperate to avert another disaster by proving her husband’s recent death was an accident, not the suicide determined by the coroner. Everyone in town, even Colton, seems to know something particular about Jack’s last days, but no one in Mason’s Crossing can help her put all the pieces together.

On the morning she discovers secret notes in Jack’s appointment book, she finds something else to convince her she’s right. But the more she digs for the truth, the more destructive Colton’s behavior becomes, until Sally is left with one choice: ask her father what really happened.

The problem: Sally hasn’t spoken to him in fifteen years.

Mason’s Daughter brings to life the results of secrets and trauma that affect everyone involved. The pages seem to turn themselves. The language is evocative and true-to-life.

What a wonderful story with an interesting and appropriate ending! I was intrigued throughout the entire book as I laughed and cried and wondered how things were going to turn out for the family. I found myself either identifying with or empathizing with all of the characters at different times, which piqued my interest and made the novel very realistic. A great read!

Couldn’t put this book down. This story is told with such wit and poignancy. Mason’s Daughter left me wanting more from this author. I hope there is a sequel because I want to know where these compelling characters are going next.
